Ever since the first issue dropped, Sean Murphy's take on Gotham City has been a favorite among fans. Known for its fascinating character redesigns, social commentary, and slightly controversial ships, Murphy's Batman: White Knight saga has been a book to watch for unique twists on the Bat-family. But now, Murphy is expanding his vision to include even more of the DC Comics Universe, confirming that his next focus in the White Knight storyline will be the full Justice League.

Well, his version of the Justice League, anyway.

That's what we gleaned from a recent AMA Murphy did over at The League of Comic Geeks website, where Murphy was asked questions by readers regarding everything from his take on Zorro to his upcoming Image Comics title The Last Driver. But there were, of course, plenty of curious DC fans in the thread, such as the person who asked about the appearance of Superman in the last chapter of White Knight. What other Justice League characters, asked @Tristmal23, would Murphy like to work into his alt-universe?

"For v4 of WK," answered the Punk Rock Jesus artist, "Get ready for WW, Flash, GL, Hawkgirl, and a few others..."

Elsewhere in the discussion, a fan going by @Sebastianthecrab asked about the possibility of Murphy's take on Duke Thomas appearing in the next chapter, and Murphy responded:

"Yes, the Bat family will be in v4, but won't be in the main plot because I'm more focused on the JLA."

Finally, Murphy made one last confirmation regarding his take on the Justice League:

"DC will announce a timeline for my next White Knight at NYCC," he said, "So stay tuned. :)"

I know a bunch of fans who will be doing exactly that, Sean.
